Mount & Blade: Warband 1.173 is now live! If you have the game on Steam or GOG then you should automatically receive the update, for those of you that don’t, you can visit our Mount & Blade: Warband download page to access the latest version.

The Battle of Bucharest, Mount & Blade's first live esports tournament, has now drawn to a close. Thank you to our partners the Lithuanian Esport Federation and PGL for making this possible! We would also like to thank our sponsors Intel and G-Core Labs for supporting the initiative, and GOG for sponsoring the “Best Skills” audience award!

Four teams of five warriors and eight individual duelists made it through the qualifiers and are ready to fight for the honor of being the winners of the Battle of Bucharest, the first Mount & Blade live esports event. During 3 days, 128 duels and 26 team matches (total of 208 rounds) were fought in the qualifying rounds. That’s an approximate total of 125 hours of combat, more than 5 days – as a comparison, that’s like 15 Battles of Hastings or 5 Battles of Grunwald fought one after another! Today Battle of Bucharest releases the schedule for its final round, to be celebrated in Bucharest on May 20.
